Bryson DeChambeau didn’t have to wait long for his first win of the 2018-19 season, winning in his first fall start at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open for his third win in his last five starts and his fourth win since June 2018. The 25-year-old made a 57-foot, 7-inch putt from off the green for eagle at the par-5 16th on his way to a one-shot victory over Patrick Cantlay.
